Jessy Lanza

These are songs for after the club, but before the party's over. Her unabashed reverence for R&B shines through with pitched-down grooves and the requisite mournful moans that differentiate Lanza's voice from others floating around the world of electronic music. This is an intriguing and confident debut that delivers listeners the closest thing to a set of modern slow jams that I can imagine. So whether listening to her suggestive whispers makes you want to bump or grind, the undeniable fact of the matter is you will be moved.
